Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on June 2, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.

Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 7-10, Friday, June 2, 2017

I had three out of four again Saturday night. My meet results so far, 6 for 55, winners paid $394.55 for 50-cents, $41.65 for 50-cents, $85.00 for $1, $103.60 for 50-cents, $60.10 for 50-cents, $8.15 for 50-cents, minus $138.40. Whale tickets, 0 for 3, minus $100.00.

Standard Ticket: $1 play: 12/8/12/6 = $4
Whale Ticket: 50-cent play: none

Analysis:

Race 7: This appears to be a two horse race between two talented colts, (1) Long Tom and (2) What The Hill.

Race 8: (8) Darlinonthebeach qualified sharply and may be too fast for these.

Race 9: This may be the toughest race of the sequence. I’m using the 1 and 2 entries, which equals half of the field.

Race 10: (6) Sheer Flex takes a key drop and is a single for me.
